Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Chartism the British mass movement for democratic and social rights in the 1830s and 1840s was profoundly shaped by the radical tradition from which it emerged. Yet little attention has been paid to how Chartists saw themselves in relation to this diverse radical tradition or to the ways in which they invented their own tradition. Paine Cobbett and other ‘founding fathers’ dead and alive were used and in some cases abused by Chartists in their own attempts to invent a radical tradition. By drawing on new and exciting work in the fields of visual and material culture; cultures of heroism memory and commemoration; critical heritage studies; and the history of political thought this book explores the complex cultural work that radical heroes were made to perform. | Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Sasha Pechersky Holocaust Hero Sobibor Resistance Leader and Hostage of History

Sasha Pechersky Holocaust Hero Sobibor Resistance Leader and Hostage of History

On October 14 1943 Aleksandr Sasha Pechersky led a mass escape of inmates from Sobibor a Nazi death camp in Poland. Despite leading the only successful prisoner revolt at a World War II death camp Pechersky never received the public recognition he deserved in his home country of Russia. This story of a forgotten hero reveals the tremendous difference in memorial cultures between societies in the West and societies in the former Communist world. Pechersky along with other Russian and Jewish inmates who had been prisoners of the Nazis was considered suspect by the Russian government simply because he had been imprisoned. In this volume Selma Leydesdorff describes the official silence in the Eastern Bloc about Pechersky’s role in the Sobibor escape and how an effort was made to recognize his actions. The narrative is based on eyewitness accounts from people in Pechersky’s life and a discussion of the mechanism of memory mixing written sources with varied recollections and assessing the collisions of collective memory held by the East and the West. Specifically this book critiques the ideological refusal of many societies to acknowledge the suffering of Jews at Sobibor. Offering fascinating insights into a crucial period of history emphasizing that Jews were not passive in the face of German violence and exploring the history of the Jews who fell victim to Stalinism after surviving Nazism this is valuable reading for students and scholars of the Holocaust and the position of Jews under Communism. | Sasha Pechersky Holocaust Hero Sobibor Resistance Leader and Hostage of History

Achilles

Achilles

Achilles is the quintessential Greek hero but that does not mean that he is a conventional hero. His uniqueness is dictated by his birth as the son of a sea goddess and his education at the hands of a centaur. The hero’s exceptional nature also forms part of the tension that both unites and opposes him to Apollo. Achilles presents the different episodes in the life of this hero conventionally in chronological order based primarily on the Greek sources: birth education deeds in Troy death and subsequent destiny as a figure of worship. On the other hand this study employs the hero Achilles to reflect on various issues all of them crucial for historians of the Greek world: what it meant to be and become a man in ancient Greece what a hero’s aretê consisted of how the Greeks represented the concepts of friendship and camaraderie what moved them to revenge or reconciliation what hopes they harboured as they faced their fate how they imagined something as difficult to conceive of as a human sacrifice and how they developed their ideas about the afterlife and hero cult.

Resistance Heroism and the End of Empire The Life and Times of Madeleine Riffaud

Resistance Heroism and the End of Empire The Life and Times of Madeleine Riffaud

This book introduces an English-speaking public to the life of Madeleine Riffaud – one of the last living leaders of the French Resistance. It considers the nature of the rebel hero in France’s founding historical narratives (revolution insurrection resistance) while asking what contributions such a hero might make to debates on national identity today. Through a series of narrative close-ups the book offers perspectives on major chapters in nineteenth- and twentieth-century French history through the eyes of activists who experienced them: the Revolution of July 1830 and the 1851 insurrection against Napoleon as experienced by Riffaud’s ancestor Edme Liron and the French Resistance the Vietnam War and French–Algerian conflict as experienced by Riffaud herself. The book aims to explore the kinds of choices individuals face when their beliefs set them at odds with the state and to suggest that there is a place for individual action in a global arena where state boundaries are becoming increasingly less relevant. | Resistance Heroism and the End of Empire The Life and Times of Madeleine Riffaud

Psychoanalysis Online 3 The Teleanalytic Setting

Psychoanalysis Online 3 The Teleanalytic Setting

Psychoanalysis Online 3: The Teleanalytic Setting is a highly topical continuing conversation on the role of technology in psychoanalysis and its tremendous potential for outreach to patients in the global economy. It describes the essentials of a framework for teleanalysis that is secure in terms both of technology and ethical stance. The technology is a third in the therapeutic alliance and its impact needs to be analysed like every other element in the field. Teleanalysis appears to some people to be a distancing methodology but the authors report surprising closeness across a distance. Teleanalysis offers a window into the analytic pair's experience of time space deprivation fantasy and physicality and shows unconscious dynamics displayed graphically on the image on the screen. The book looks at the convenience and impact of internet use among various communities including LGBTQI in terms of defense against and transition to intimacy and gives clinical evidence of transformation made possible through the therapeutic aspects of technology. | Psychoanalysis Online 3 The Teleanalytic Setting

Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fanfiction A Fastball Special

Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fanfiction A Fastball Special

Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fanfiction: A Fastball Special interrogates the ways in which the Marvel Comics character Wolverine is a queer hero and examines his representation as an open vulnerable and kinship-oriented queer hero in both comics and fanfiction. Despite claims that Wolverine embodies Reagan-era conservatism or hegemonic hypermasculinity Wolverine does not conform to gender or sex norms not only because of his mutant status but also because his character throughout his publication history resists normalization making him a site for a queer-heroic futurity. Rather than focusing on overt queer representations that have appeared in some comic forms this book explores the queer representations that have preceded Wolverine’s bisexual and gay characterizations and in particular focuses on his porous and vulnerable body. Through important but not overly analyzed storylines representations of his open body that is always in process (both visually and narratively) his creation of queer kinships with his fellow mutants and his eroticized same-sex relationships as depicted in fanfiction this book traces a queer genealogy of Wolverine. This book is ideal reading for students and scholars of comics studies cultural studies gender studies sexuality studies and literature. | Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fanfiction A Fastball Special

Mi'kmaq Landscapes From Animism to Sacred Ecology

Mi'kmaq Landscapes From Animism to Sacred Ecology

This book seeks to explore historical changes in the lifeworld of the Mi'kmaq Indians of Eastern Canada. The Mi'kmaq culture hero Kluskap serves as a key persona in discussing issues such as traditions changing conceptions of land and human-environmental relations. In order not to depict Mi'kmaq culture as timeless two important periods in its history are examined. Within the first period between 1850 and 1930 Hornborg explores historical evidence of the ontology epistemology and ethics - jointly labelled animism - that stem from a premodern Mi'kmaq hunting subsistence. New ways of discussing animism and shamanism are here richly exemplified. The second study situates the culture hero in the modern world of the 1990s when allusions to Mi'kmaq tradition and to Kluskap played an important role in the struggle against a planned superquarry on Cape Breton. This study discusses the eco-cosmology that has been formulated by modern reserve inhabitants which could be labelled a 'sacred ecology'. Focusing on how the Mi'kmaq are rebuilding their traditions and environmental relations in interaction with modern society Hornborg illustrates how environmental groups pan-Indianism and education play an important role but so does reserve life. By anchoring their engagement in reserve life the Mi'kmaq traditionalists have to a large extent been able to confront both external and internal doubts about their authenticity. | Mi'kmaq Landscapes From Animism to Sacred Ecology
